Pete King's plan to grill Muslims is flashback to Joe McCarthy's Hollywood witch hunt
NY Daily News ^ | 12/21/10 | JOANNA MOLLOY

Rep. Pete King's proposal to hold hearings on the "radicalization" of American Muslims is something straight out of the Bad Ideas Department.

Make that the Worst Ideas Department.

Just substitute the word "movie" for "Muslim" and you've got McCarthyism. As in Sen. Joe, who called in actors from Lucille Ball to Judy Holliday simply because they had had naughty liberal thoughts.

McCarthy found nothing on Holliday, but ruined her life and scores of others in Hollywood.

What's next, internment camps?

Maybe someone who knows more can answer if this is even true- is this Malloy-person confused over HUAC and McCarthy? McCarthy was a Senator, and HUAC was the House Committee on Un-American Activities...

Tailgunner Joe was a drunk and a shameless showboat who set back the anti-Communism cause. Otherwise, he was right. There were (and are) Communists in the U.S. Government.

(Maybe I misremember, but didn’t Joe go after The Army and The State Department? Others went after Hollywood).

We would be speaking of him as a hero if he were a leftist.

McCarthy had no connection to the HUAC hearings. More media lies.

Released KGB files showed that old Joe was right. The US Communists were under the thumb of the Soviet Union and were practicing espionage and subversion. The CPUSA was being paid by the KGB

You are correct. Sen. McCarthy had access to decoded Soviet diplomatic messages (the Venona papers).

A few people were falsely accused, lest the Soviets become suspicious.

Joe was right. The commies are not only still there but growing.

The swamp needs to be drained. The rat’s nest needs to be cleaned. Hanoi Jane et al need to be turned out into the streets of Shanghi

He imprisoned Japanese citizens. Note he did not intern German citizens, too white. Also too likely to be enemies.Germans and Commies both hated the Japs.

I’m sure these leftists will be calling for the FBI to back off of the “militia” groups as well, and for the same reasons....

not holding my breath.

The differance being that is they are muslim they follow islam which is an evil cult with the purpose of destroying western civilization and America in particular
Hollywood actors were not nail bombing buses for of children hi-jacking planes and slaughtering thousands, burning down Christian Churches and killing Christian people and on and on.

Pete King plans to grill Muslims?

Gun camera vids of A-10 and Apache strikes show lots & lots of “grilled Muslims”.

Sliced & diced, on the half shell, crispy critters; there’s many ways to grill Muslims.

;^)
